This was stated to Adnkronos by the president of Copasir and senator of Fdi, Adolfo Urso, who, questioned on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the massacre at the Munich Olympic Games in 1972, recalls the work carried out by the Committee in the context of the fact-finding investigation on the modalities of desecretation, conservation and access to documents especially in relation to the terrorist acts of the period 1969-1985. “They were terrible and difficult years in which international terrorism struck everywhere in the West, especially in Europe and not only in Italy – observes Urso – and the time has come to give all the elements of truth so that citizens and historians can have an understanding idea and contribute to a process that restores full awareness of what our country and Europe had to face in those terrible years “.” We have done a job, in recent months, activating it when the Jewish community of Rome denounced episodes relating to the ” attack on the Synagogue carrying out hearings, such as that of the president of the Jewish community Dureghello, of the presidents of the Moro Giuseppe Fioroni commissions of inquiry and on the Mitrokhin dossier Paolo Guzzanti and of many other personalities – recalls Urso – A work that we could not conclude for the dissolution anticipated of the legislature, but which we have included in our Report “. Regarding Germany’s intention to start a commission of Israeli-German historians to reexamine the facts and the truth about the attack at the ’72 Olympics, Urso observes: “Each country has its own legislation and is sovereign. The Italian parliament has several times made Inquiry Commissions, I understand that Germany can move in this direction “.” I think the methodical work done by the European Parliament is very useful. foreign interference in the European context that concerns the interference of recent years, not those years, but that has nevertheless done an interesting job – adds the senator – to make us understand how many interconnections there are, how much it is sometimes necessary to resort to history to understand what happens today “. And regarding the rumors about documents according to which the German government at the time was aware of risks for possible attacks, Urso admitted rdato: “I speak only with official documents, I cannot report any news we have had or documents acquired in the course of our investigation, I speak only of what we decided at the conclusion of the investigation in our report and there it is written that we must proceed quickly, with a certain and clear methodology, so that we can understand what happened in those years not only for the benefit of historians, who obviously will have material for their analyzes and studies, but also for the benefit of public opinion and citizens”. Finally, with regard to the debate on the ‘Lodo Moro’ and the hypothesis of establishing an ad hoc parliamentary commission of inquiry in the next legislature, Urso concludes: “In our report we also speak, as far as possible, of the ‘Lodo Moro’ and I believe that the parliament has obtained other elements from Copasir to decide any further actions if necessary “.
